SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 411,871, dated October 1, 1889.

Application filed May 27, 1889. Serial No. 312,286. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLAs R. MCCORMICK, a citizen of the United States, residin Cleveland,county of Ouyahoga,State of Ohio,have invented a new and useful Necktie-Clamp, of

which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to secure the necktie or scarf firmly and securely to the col- 4 lar-button by an easy method which will hold IO the necktie or scarf firmly in place, which object is attained by the mechanism in the accompanying drawings.

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is the top or outside view of clamp when closed. Fig. 2 is the top or outside view of clamp when opened. Fig. 3 is the inside view of clamp which comes nextto the necktie or scarf, to which it is fastened by means of combined spring and pins, as shown in Fig. 4:. Fig. i. is the steel or brass wire combined spring and pins, which, being fastened securely to A B, Fig. 3, at C G, holds A and B together in place, and, being coiled in the center D,formsacenter spring for the clamp, while the coils at E 2 5 E form springs for the fastening-pins F F.

hen the clamp is fastened securely to the scarf 0r necktie by the pins F F, the clamp is then slipped between the collar-button and the collar, opening the clamp as itpasses over the stem of the collar-button, as in Fig. 2, and closing again when the stem of the collar-button drops into the holes orcurves in the plates A and B, as in Fig. 1, the wire spring on the clamp between C C then holding the clamp firmly in place.

This necktie-clamp can be made of an 5' thin metal or ivory or celluloid.

\Vhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

The herein-described clasp for neckties, consisting of the two plates provided with the recess to inclose the shank of the collar-button and the wire pins secured to the plates and having the central spring-coil, the depending pins and spring-coils therefor, and the fasten- 5 ing-loops for the pins, substantially as described.
